A "live" preview button

This would allow the editor to view the updated content in-place, as it will appear on the site, *before* actually making it live.
Maybe open as a new popup window, or even better, as a nice ajaxy overlay on top of the edit page.

    This is an interesting idea. I think it could be very beneficial for sites that have constant visitors. On my smaller sites, it's not a big deal. But if a site is being viewed all the time by multiple viewers, it would be great to have a "preview".

    To prevent typical site path/inclusion issues the simplest implementation would probably be to FTP the 'preview' version to the site, in the same directory as the original file, but with a special name, e.g. if editing somepage.html, upload it as preview.somepage.html, and auto-load it into an iFrame on the same page
